Instructions

  1. 1
    Using a sharp knife, make deep slashes in the chicken thighs to help the marinade penetrate the meat.

    Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring it gets into all the cuts, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 220°C or prepare a hot grill.
  5. 5
    Arrange the chicken on a wire rack or baking tray and roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
  6. 6
    Cook until the chicken is deeply coloured with lightly charred edges and fully cooked through.
  7. 7
    Rest for 5 minutes before serving with rice, salad or naan bread.
